Husband

“Hurry! Stop her.” Dayton, the butler, wanted to follow Averie, but Averie turned around suddenly and locked the door.

Averie knew she couldn’t kick Vera out since Carlos had given the order. However, she could ruin Vera’s face. Carlos would never look at Vera again with her face ruined.

“B**h!” Averie swung the broom fiercely toward Vera’s face in the dimly lit room. “How dare you seduce my husband!”

Vera sat motionlessly on the edge of the bed as though she was still blurred from waking up. She looked blankly at the broom coming toward her.

Averie felt smug. She thought, ‘Did this dumb vixen think she could compete with me?’

In a flash, Vera kicked out suddenly and stepped on the broom. Averie was shocked.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Let go!” Averie shouted foolishly after tugging on it a couple of times.

Vera smirked scornfully. “Seduce your husband? Are you talking about yourself?”

“What did you say?” Averie became furious.

“Wasn’t Neil’s biological mother Carlos’s wife?” Vera’s voice suddenly turned icy. “You know better than anyone how she died, don’t you?”

Averie jolted. She stared at Vera, her eyes wide in disbelief. It couldn’t be true. How could Vera know something even Carlos didn’t? She must be scamming her.

Vera continued, “I heard her grave was destroyed. What do you think? Is it possible that she crawled out of her grave? Do you think she will come for you?”

Suddenly, the only lamp in the room flickered and went out.

Averie screamed, letting go of the broom and running to the door, cowering in fear. However, she found herself surrounded by towering flames.

Averie hurriedly turned, trying to run back. A red high-heeled shoe appeared from somewhere and kicked her. She recognized that heel. She had worn it five

years ago when she killed Vera. But Averie had burned those shoes a long time ago. Why

were they the.

“Isn’t this Averie.

ie screamed.

.he owner of the high-heeled shoe spoke with the same voice as the deceased Vera. “Didn’t you kill me?”

Averie was terrified, but she looked up. She saw Vera’s face, swollen from her pregnancy. Averie trembled and stammered, “No, it wasn’t me. I didn’t kill you.”

“Do you know how much it hurt to be burnt alive? Do you know the agony I felt? I died with so much rage that I’m now a ghost. You’re responsible for how I am now,” Vera’s.voice became increasingly eerie. “I can’t kill Carlos, but I can kill you. Why don’t you join me, Averie?”

Averie shrieked in terror and fainted.

Vera was so annoyed she slapped Averie twice. She only hypnotized Averie to let her feel what it was like for her then. How could Averie be so timid?

Vera still wanted to find out what had happened through the hypnosis. She would have to start again after she woke Averie up.

“Mr. Monroe, you’re back. Finally,” Dayton suddenly called out urgently. “Miss Powell went in with a broom to attack Miss Vivian. She even locked the door.”

“Break it down.” Carlos’s order made Vera anxious. She couldn’t let Carlos know she could hypnotize.
